I've just had the most PAINFUL bath of my life. I'm so glad I'm out alive now. I think I might actually look even more red this morning, and I've got the most hideous tan lines; I look like (for want of a better simile stereotype) one of those 40 year old chav mums you see flaunting their lobster cleavage in Marbella. Thankfully, I have the decency to cover mine up. It's kind of cloudy this morning, so looks like I won't be furthering my chances of skin cancer today.

I'm sat here revising drinking summer fruits squash (which I think I am developing an addiction to, mainly because I can't resist anything which is only 15kcal per serving, therefore meaning that I can have about EIGHT glasses at the same calorific value of ONE can of (FAT) Coke)and worrying about approaching exams listening to Take That and Party, two things which alone make me incredibly happy, but together, make me ecstatic!

Am skiving General studies this morning, the most pointless lesson in the world, in which we have to take A level equivalent exams next week, even though most universities don't care if you have it or not, as they don't count it as a real A level. We only have a lesson in it once a fortnight on a Friday, and I don't think I've really learnt anything from it (other than how to argue with Mr. Browne about the amount of paper he wastes in General studies lessons and how we could save the rainforest by discussing our answers to the single question he has asked us, rather than writing a one word answer on a piece of paper, then later throwing it in the bin (non-recycling), because let's face it, how is that one word answer going to help us revise for an A level exam?) I have also argued the point that I would rather have no grade than a fail grade on my exam certificate, so wouldn't whichever university I apply to be more impressed if I have three good A levels and no general studies, than a U in general studies on my exam certificate? But Mr. Browne seems to disagree with me, as he does on most things.

Though I don't think he has ever given me a reason why, which must therefore mean that I am right.
